About Michael
Michael Ecuyer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 33 years of practice. He frames therapy like life coaching and focuses on helping people move past obstacles that block their goals. He is based in Texas and works in English, and he mentions experience supporting men's wellbeing among other concerns.
His background includes long experience with relationship disappointments, intense stress, and parenting challenges. He often helps people handling blended family issues, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment or abandonment worries. He also supports those facing grief, addiction, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career or financial strain.
In sessions he draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Emotionally-Focused, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic approaches. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, practical ways to change unhelpful patterns, and noticing emotions and behavior in day-to-day life. He describes his work as collaborative and goal-oriented, like coaching toward clearer next steps.
Michael typically communicates by phone, text, and sometimes video when preferred. He notes weekday daytime availability with some evenings and select weekend afternoons, and that he reads and replies to messages daily.

How Michael’s approaches fit into online therapy
Michael blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people with everyday struggles. Client-centered work focuses on understanding a person's priorities and building sessions around their goals, which helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship worries, and navigating life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael treats the process as collaborative and uses talk, reflection, and practical exercises to figure out what fits each person’s goals. He adjusts methods over time so sessions remain helpful and aligned with what the person wants to achieve.
He notes he communicates by phone and text and sometimes uses video when that is preferred, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work and family responsibilities. The focus stays on clear goals, workable steps, and steady progress rather than on any single technique.
